FESTA

Finding a way forward

Diadem brought its experience to the design of hubs and sites to help people navigate their way through the temporary development. The New Zealand office also managed the on-site manufacture and implementation.

Working with Generation Zero, as well as a constrained budget and very tight timeline, Diadem managed the procurement, manufacture and installation of the temporary wayfinding. This meant creating a colourful, engaging solution that used only existing structures around the city.

The theme of the festival – tactical urbanism – was about transforming public spaces into engaging people-focused spaces. As Christchurch continues to reinvent itself after a devastating earthquake, considering these issues is more vital than ever. Diadem is proud to be part of this conversation.
